    Crafted DK Malf (own them all now!) and both Spreading Plagues (which I dusted after the nerf so whatever). Couldn't bring myself to craft Kun though, so I used Ysera in his place. I know he's a huge swing turn play, but I just can't burn the dust on him.

    Went with the Bright Eyed Scouts variant in place of Innervates for bigger turn 4/5 swings. 2-1 with my loss coming to some strange Rogue using Razorpetal leaves to pump a Questing Adventurer. He had a nutty draw and I couldn't keep up.

    Standard Miracle Rogue is a strange deck now???

    Edit: Okay if they had Razorpetal Volley that's a weird tech choice but like it's still the same idea

    First game in an Arena run against a Druid/Warlock. The highlights in his deck were double Dreadlord, DK Malf, Spreading Plague, UI. I stomped him hard, it was never even close.

    I am playing Warrior/Mage. My value came from Rotface into whirlwind effect (from the weapon) + ping. He cleared the Rotface and the Lorewalker Cho but left the Deathsinger Umbra up. And I had gotten Sindragosa from a Bone Drake earlier. So 4 more random legendaries from me, I didn't even needed to play the Tirion. And I never drew my own DK (Garrosh) before he died to fatigue.


    edit: Lost the next game to Mind Control on my Ysera (from Drake again) into Shadowreaper Anduin.

    I managed to Deathgrip N'Zoth from a Priest deathrattle quest deck; I'm honestly surprised that I didn't get a friend request after the game (truth be told, I could have dealt with N'Zoth rez'ing everything easily enough).

    Firebat was playing this miracle deck with razor petals, malygos, and meatwagons with cold blood to pull maly and auctioneers from the deck.

    It seemed really gimmicky, but it’s firebat so he probably had an 80% WR with it.

    I had a "play Paladin cards" quest and played some Murloc Paladin this morning. I figured that it's been posting win rates just behind Tempo Rogue, so what could possibly go wrong?

    After going 1-9 with it, I'm going to say "everything."

    I got the quest done though.

    I think Midranged is doing fine, but completely fails against silence or hard removal.

    The last two days, aggressive decks have been rocking my face. On my EU F2P account, I tried giving the most current builds of Secret Mage a go. Bittertide Hydras, Cobolt Scalebanes, that stuff. I think that I went 2-8 or so. Game after game, Tempo Rogue or Zoo would just have me on the ropes by turn 6, and it was a choice between "fireball my own face to die" or "go out in style by playing Bittertide Hydra to die." I just couldn't get/keep anything on board. Then, using Demon Zoo on my NA F2P account, I dropped from 7 to 9 after playing against Hunter after Hunter after Hunter. Part of that was bad RNG, but it was getting ridiculous enough that I'd started calling it. "I win unless the Hunter has exactly Kill Command+Kill Command+Deadly Shot as his or her three cards, and the Deadly Shot hits the 1/5 chance. Oh, fork." Another game the Hunter won with Deathstalker Rexxar (clearing my taunts) + Crackling Razormaw with Penguin off of Hero Power to give his or her Bittertide Hydra windfury for exact lethal. It was like being on the wrong side of a Trolden video for the better part of a dozen games.

    I'm kind of feeling tilted right now.

    Well that was just fucking gross.

    Turn 1: Coin + Wild Growth
    Turn 2: Jade Blossom
    Turn 3: Nourish for 2 mana
    Turn 4: Mire Keeper for extra crystal
    Turn 5: Ultimate Infestation.

    My Priest opponent only healed his face on turn 2->5.

    He only ended up playing 3 cards total. Dragon fire to clear the 5/5, 3/3 and 1/1 that I had on board after turn 5. Silence on my Aya. And a Free from Amber that gave him an obsidian statue that was too little too late.

    I feel dirty. I might need to go take a shower.

    Honestly I should just concede whenever I face a Shaman with this Hunter deck. The only time I've ever beaten one was when I hit a 1/4 chance to steal their 7/7 in a desperation Play Dead onto Sylvanas.

    The current state of hunter makes me sad because DK Rexxar is so awesome. I'd even consider trying to brew something if I had more cards to work with, though I haven't created a successful homebrew in a very long time. T_T

    Other than the Shaman matchup, this deck actually does really well. It's a Wild deck, but I've been having so much fun with it I pushed all the way from like rank 23 in Wild to 16 now, I should hit 15 in the next hour or so. I crafted Rexxar specifically because I enjoy playing him so much, and then copied Dane's deathrattle deck, which he used to push to Legend.

    AAEBAR8K9gLJBJcI2wm5DYEOohDgrALJwgKG0wIKtQOHBPcN2w+QENQRyxSczQLTzQLGzgIA

    I had to switch to Wild though because yeah, seems like there isn't really a place in Standard for a Rexxar deck atm.

    Stats from HSReplay though:

    nTyA9y6.png

    It's a great deck because you have a solid chance of outlasting aggro decks (assuming you don't play like a moron, like I do), you definitely outlast mid-range decks, and you can often go toe-to-toe with control decks in the late game because you do have some late-game cards and Zombeast is insane late game value. I struggle with Shaman and Paladin because it's hard to maintain board control against them, but other than those matchups it's mostly a breeze unless I draw poorly.

    A win away from rank 5 on my NA F2P. Despite getting Patches off of the Mulligan, I'm in a not-terrible position. I have a Doomguard and a Despicable Dreadlord on board. My opponent is starting down lethal next turn. Unfortunately, so am I. I'm at 8 health, my opponent has a Keleseth-buffed Doomguard out, and no cards in hand heading into his or her turn. They've already cast or discarded Soulfire x2, Saronite Chain Gang x2, Voidwalker x2, and Doomguard x1. Their only out so far as I can tell is to pull Doomguard off of the top with their their initial draw or their life tap draw. Their odds of winning the game are less than 1/5.

    He or she didn't even need to tap.

    Lady Luck has forsaken me.

    Schedule-wise, when is the next expansion landing?

    I know that blizzcon will reveal it and date, but there have been times it's been like 2 weeks or less release date by when they announce it.


    I only have 5K gold saved this time around... not sure how as I normally have 8-9K.

    I'm thinking early December is probably a safer call.

    League of Explorers was a really quick launch, but it had the advantage of being a slow roll out over a number of weeks and being a far smaller card count than a full expansion will be.

    They'll want to get the hype train rolling and get those pre-orders in. I also imagine they'll be wanting to drop a patch between the announcement and the actual release so they can do in-game pre-orders with a special card back, which they weren't able to do with Mean Streets due to time constraints.

    How could they fix Millhouse Manastorm to make him playable? Would he be playable if it was just the first spell that was free?

    I mean, he still wouldn't be good, but I could conceive of someone playing him onto the board like....ever. As it stands, the only time I could see playing him now is if you're in a topdecking situation and your opponent has no cards, maybe you drop him and hope your opponent doesn't draw a spell. Is there ANY other situation where he's playable?

    vRyue2p.png
  • KolosusKolosus Registered User regular
    Even then he is only a 4/4. Maybe in arena he is ok in a topdecking situation?
